I occasionally take it at bedtime. But my dosage is only for .50 and I am suppose to cut that in half. My pcp will only give me 10 pills for a one month period. I guess she is afraid of addiction. The nurse practitioner that first prescribed it for me had the prescription at .25 mg up to 3 times per day. I don't take it for anxiety; I take it at bedtime when my spasticity will not allow me to relax and sleep. I also take ambien cr at the same time and I still do not sleep all that well most night.
